Biology

Yungoos are an invasive species of Alolan Pokémon, brought to Alola to combat another invasive species, Alolan Rattata. Known for being voracious eaters, most of their elongated body is devoted to their stomach—they are almost constantly hungry and become angry when not eating.

Although it will eat anything, it prefers fresh living things, so it marches down streets in search of prey.
Ultra Moon
Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It’s a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.
Ultra Sun
It wanders around in a never-ending search for food. At dusk, it collapses from exhaustion and falls asleep on the spot.
Moon
With its sharp fangs, it will bite anything. It did not originally live in Alola but was imported from another region.
